Surrey Constabulary black plastic uniform button bearing the Queen Elizabeth II Crown, representing the county police force during the post-1952 period. The Surrey Constabulary served the county of Surrey for much of the twentieth century, maintaining local policing across its towns and rural districts before its amalgamation with the Metropolitan Police in 2000 to form the present-day Surrey Police.
Black plastic buttons were used on certain items of police uniform, particularly capes and overcoats, where a dark, unobtrusive button was appropriate. The Queen’s Crown identifies this example with the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, following her accession in 1952. The Surrey Constabulary title distinguishes it from buttons worn by neighbouring police forces and later Surrey Police insignia. Measuring 25.5mm in diameter, this larger example is an interesting piece of twentieth-century British police uniform history, suitable for collectors of county constabulary buttons and British police insignia.
Dimensions: Approximately 25.5mm diameter.
Condition: Very good. Please refer to the photographs for details of the button’s design, plastic construction and reverse fitting.
NOTE: Reverse may vary
